  • Patent number: 11771753
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vaccine composition for use in neurodegenerative diseases and an infectious virus vaccine composition for inducing an antibody recognizing the conformation of antigens. The vaccine composition of the present invention induces the production of an antibody recognizing the conformation of antigens. The antibody recognizing the conformation of antigens has high specificity for an antigen, and thus can be useful for ameliorating, preventing or treating diseases.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11254714
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting, improving, or preventing aging, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising a recombinant protein of flagellin, which is the constituent of Vibrio vulnificus flagella, fused with a pathogenic protein antigen, which is pneumococcal surface protein A (PsaA) of Streptococcus pneumonia. According to the present invention, the recombinant protein of the present invention can improve external and internal aging-related malfunctions and enhance immunity. Also, the composition of the present invention can easily perform immunization through mucosal administration.
